So I had just gotten my 3rd alt approved and all I have to do is write my bp...After some procrastinating on that and a bunch of other stuff I realized something about the BP system. Now after this analysis of mine I wondered if we should really still have BP's for alt characters at all but then I thought about how people usually write a bunch and potentially start at like 20k because they wrote a BP and that the only way to really avoid a BP was by transferring pl but then I thought to myself...should BP's for ALT characters be mandatory anymore?
I took into consideration what BP's are actually for and how they are used. How it's basically showing your writing skill and when you honestly think about it, for newcomers. Now with that said someone who has already shown their skill in their first BP already has a determined multiplier and not only this BUT we have predetermined starting pl's for each race which in my honest opinion seems kind of pointless if a BP is a hit or miss as you can get a lower pl or a much higher one.
So here's what I am thinking. Specifically for alts BP's should not be mandatory and here is how it would be done. Depending on their race and their players multiplier they get that determined their gains and starting pl. For an alt I think the player should have the option to write their BP or just take the default power level, as to me it just makes sense to have that option considering what the BP is actually used for.
Now as for the effects of this I also have input on that. As far as I can see there is no real downside to this, as a matter of fact there are a few more things besides not writing a bp for alts that can benefit the site.
1. This would create less work for MODS and let's face it, they are all human and we cannot expect them to be consistent and be able to go from a profile to then a BP in a short manner of time, so in exchange for that huge lump of time they need to take out they could instead just simply as the player do they want to write a BP? or do they want to have the starter pl? of course this is only for alts. The only side effect being that stating that you are an alt of an already existing character would have to be mandatory for alts or else they have to write the BP anyway. This just seems like it could benefit a majority of the sitereally mainly me that want to create alts but don't want to write another BP. The auto starting pl would work in synergy with the quality multiplier and lean towards which starting pl they have on the sheet as there are two possible starting pl's for each race.
I myself had surpassed the starting pl for my first character even if it was by only 1k alone, so it just shows that right now there is not much a use for the stated "starter PL" if we can show the potential to surpass it anyway.
I truly see no breaking downside to this and think it would really helpme the site. I would like to hear this Idea's approval opinions on this thought.
